What is the point of this unit? It is probably hands down the worst unit in the game considering the cost. It has no range, horrendously long reload, barely vets, costs a fuckton of resources and does barely any damage. Shooting into a blob of 4 units will maybe net you one or two kills before he gently strolls out of the area of (non-)effect.
Why?
Look man. Hate to be the bearer of bad news. But “rocket” arty is a thing of the past man. Yes the whizzbang does have the same range as a flak 88? So what? Smoke and flank am I right? Yes the whizzbang doesn’t really wipe any units or punish blobs. But look man, TTK is higher for a reason in this game. It promotes tactical, engaging gameplay. Let me explain. You see a lot of blobbing / you think……..hmmmmm whizzbang should punish this / you wait all game to get the whizzbang / you bait the blob and barrage it / it does nothing and you eventually lose. Key takeaways from that. It wouldn’t be fair to the opponent if you punished him for using tactical columns (aka blobs). He should have an opportunity to react to the “rocket arty” or not react and still not lose any squads. Its like COH1 man, cmon everyone loves that game. Its like when the brits got released for it and that gameplay is now the gameplay for everything. On a more serious note. I would recommend not playing allies for the foreseeable future unless you enjoy losing to people you would normally beat in a balanced game. GLHF!!
